" In the last few weeks, you've probably heard news aboutthe discovery of an Earthlike planet in a nearby starsystem. In this talk, I'll give a brief summary of whatwe know about planets outside the solar system, and tellyou more about what it is that we really know about thisplanet and its star. I'll also try to deflate a littlebit of the overstated hype that has shown up in the newsmedia in the excitement over this discovery."
